Wishing You a Happy Easter with Melissa Bowden

Hi everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share using two awesome stamp sets. Sunny Borders and A Good Egg. I love this banner from Sunny Borders! 

Sunny Studio: A Happy Easter Card by Melissa Bowden (using A Good Egg & Sunny Borders stamps).

To create this card I first cut a small square out of white paper. I stamped all the images where I wanted them, masking off the basket and the chick to add the larger basket behind. After they were all stamped I colored the whole scene with Copic markers. 

I then added the banner from Sunny Borders and the “Happy Easter” sentiment from A Good Egg to the top of the card - then colored it in with Copic markers. To finish the card off I adhered it to a card base with striped patterned paper.

I hope you enjoyed the card for today! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Sunny Sentiments Bright Spot In My Day Card with Elise

Hello everyone!  It's Elise here today to share a card with you that features the Sunny Studio Stamps's  "Sunny Sentiments" and "Rain or Shine" stamp set and die!


Sunny Studio Stamps: Sunny Sentiments You Are The Bright Spot Rainbow & Sunshine Card by Elise Constable.

I started by inking some light blue ink in the center of the card base. The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils, and the sun and clouds are attached with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment in a light grey ink and added a few blue hearts around the images. I think the sun is so cute with that smiley face! :)
